Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

"Second Madam. You're here." Aunt Ru forced herself to stand up.

Chunxi hurried forward and helped her sit down. "Aunt Ru should also comfort herself. Our grandmother sent some food over."

The maid came forward and took out some cakes from the food box.

A bowl of millet and sea cucumber porridge and some snacks.

Aunt Ru took a look and swallowed, unable to resist the desire to eat.

"I happen to be hungry too."

Chunxi handed over a pair of chopsticks, "Auntie, please eat quickly."

Aunt Ru started to eat voraciously.

The big kitchen withheld her food, and what was delivered to her every day was rotten food or leftovers from other people's meals, all of which were disgusting.

After she had eaten.

Sitting in a chair, smiling bitterly:

"I just want revenge, please give me a chance, Second Grandma."

Su Rutang shook his head. "When will the cycle of revenge end? You should relax. Even if you don't have a son, you still have Sister Chu."

"The old lady's birthday is in two days. I am weak this year, and Concubine Song has a miscarriage and cannot manage the household.

The arrangements for the old lady's banquet have been handed over to the eldest sister-in-law."

Su Rutang sighed in embarrassment:

"If you are well, you can help me. But Aunt Zhao is a useless person. She is easily deceived and can't stand being coaxed by others."

"Aunt Liu? Hey..."

Su Rutang changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this. Today I just want to say that the whole family should have fun together. I asked Chunxi to buy you a piece of clothing at the embroidery shop."

She asked Chunxi to bring the clothes.

Aunt Ru took it in her hand, took a look at it and smiled.

"Thank you, Second Grandma."

"Take good care of yourself." Su Rutang said a few words and stood up.

She just walked to the door.

Zhou Qiongchu looked at her eagerly, holding a velvet flower in her hand. Chunxi took a closer look and found that the velvet flower was accidentally dropped by Taohua a few days ago.

He also ordered people to look for the peach blossom in the place where it passed, but they didn't find it.

"Mother." Zhou Qiongyu smiled.

She doesn't speak very clearly.

I’m not good at speaking long sentences, but I remember the word I used most often was “mother”.

Su Rutang glanced at him indifferently and then looked away.

She went out.

Aunt Ru leaned against the door and spat in frustration, "You only know how to call me mother? Even if you are tired of me, you should hide from her."

Zhou Qiongchu was at a loss.

"Hate."

Aunt Ru started crying again.

"Chu Jie'er, you are my flesh and blood. You hate that I can't fight for a good future for you, but I have to make plans for you."

She could see that only by following Su Rutang could Zhou Qiongchu have a good future.

She wanted to include them all.

Su Rutang and Chunxi left Ruyuan.

"Chunxi, send someone to keep an eye on Aunt Ru. Bribe the little maid in her yard."

"Second Madam is afraid..." Chunxi helped her walk.

"Be careful, it's okay. Aunt Ru is not a good person."

"The velvet flower in Chu's hand was the one Taohua wore on her head that day. Taohua wore it to the garden." Chunxi thought Su Rutang didn't see it. "I always feel that Chu is not very old. There is a hint of jealousy in her eyes..."

"It's okay to be envious, but not to be jealous."

While the two were talking, they met a maid from Rong Xitang, who said that the old lady had asked Su Rutang to come over to discuss the birthday banquet.

Su Rutang took Chunxi to Rongxitang.

There was incense burning in the room.

Su Rutang knew it was the lowest quality old sandalwood after just one sniff. The smell was very pungent.

"Su. Come and take a look. Our invitations have long been delivered to the homes of various officials." The old lady's brows were filled with displeasure. Su Rutang should have taken the initiative to take care of such trivial matters.

"Now that there are a few more, what do you think?"

Su Rutang took the post and took a look at it. The Prince Cheng's Mansion, the Minister of the Central Secretariat's Mansion, and the Minister of the Shangshu's Mansion...

If this was a banquet held for Su Rutang's birthday, she could send an invitation.

As for the minister’s mother?

Others probably laughed at the Zhou family for being so clueless.

Su Rutang did not look at the other posts. After all, the family was too high for the Zhou family to marry into. "My mother hasn't even turned 100 yet. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to invite such a family to come..."

Murong Feiyue changed into a reddish-brown stand-up collared gown, with a jacket of the same color on the outside. She also changed the hairpins on her head to gold and jade inlaid ones. Hearing this, she glanced at the old lady and then returned to Su Rutang.

"Second brother and sister. We are just using Mother's birthday as an opportunity to give Second Brother a chance to build relationships with his colleagues."

"The Emperor does not like officials forming cliques for personal gain. I'm afraid..."

The old lady put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table. "What do you mean? I'm afraid of this... I'm afraid of that... I don't believe that the old lady of the Su Mansion will not invite these people to the birthday party?"

Su Rutang answered honestly:

"These people will definitely be invited." Not only these people, but even the empress dowager and the queen in the harem will send gifts.

"If she can invite, why can't I?" The old lady was displeased.

Su Rutang sat on the chair calmly, "Then follow the arrangements of the eldest sister-in-law."

Murong Feiyue also likes to dance with long sleeves.

Being a chaste and heroic woman is her protective color, not her true nature.

From the entire layout to the fireworks that evening, the scene was jaw-dropping.

Su Rutang watched her performance indifferently.

The old lady enjoyed it very much.

"Feiyue is the right person to act like the mistress of the house. She will not bring disgrace to the Zhou family. Everything will be done according to your instructions." The old lady immediately asked Suying to quickly hand the pair of cards to Murong Feiyue.

He ordered:

"Just go for it. Don't be stingy like some people."

Su Rutang's eyes were filled with sarcasm. She had been the one who had to worry about and work hard for every birthday banquet. She gave her the good things in her dowry to show off, but basically never took them back.

The gifts given for birthdays all cost several thousand taels of silver.

The Treasure Pavilion in the capital knew that she went there every year to choose a birthday present for the old lady, so she was afraid that the Treasure Pavilion would send someone over today.

Everything Murong Feiyue discussed with everyone was superficial.

As for the tea, snacks and dishes served on the birthday party, no mention was made of them.

The resting place for female family members should also be prepared with some small gadgets that women like. If there are children with them, toys that children like should also be prepared.

She didn't mention it, so Su Rutang just thought she was here to drink tea and listen to some interesting stories.

Murong Feiyue specifically asked someone to write down the important things in a notebook, and Zhang Cai's family also wrote down what Su Rutang was thinking in the notebook.

But Murong Feiyue didn't think it was important.

She spoke till her mouth was dry.

He took the tea handed to him by Bai Xing and drank it in one gulp.

"Second brother and sister, what do you think?"

Su Rutang sincerely admired: "My sister-in-law was trained by the old lady after all. She handles these things with ease, and it doesn't seem like she has ignored worldly affairs in recent years. It can be seen that the old lady knows how to train people."

Old Madam Zhou showed joy on her face.

"Of course. If you are willing to continue to be trained by me, there is no need to worry about not having one tenth of Murong's abilities in the future." In the eyes of the old lady, Su Rutang was naturally stronger than Murong Feiyue, but she just wanted to suppress Su Rutang.

This year, the glass kang screen of the small tribe from the East China Sea was not put up.

The unique embroidered screen by the Jiangnan woman was not delivered either...

Think about it, there is nothing to show off.

Headache.

Su Rutang smiled modestly. "What the old lady said is true. It's just that my granddaughter-in-law is stupid and not in good health. There will be plenty of opportunities to learn in the future."

Su Rutang was as humble as ever, which made Old Madam Zhou lose her temper.

She just wanted to ask what gift Su Rutang had prepared?

Su Ying saw a little girl sticking her head out and asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

The little girl kowtowed and said:

"The people from the Treasure Pavilion are looking for Second Madam."

Su Rutang stood up, "Madam. I..."

"Go ahead, go ahead. Don't treat the guests badly." Old Madam Zhou was very happy. The things in the Treasure Pavilion were not cheap.

It seems that Su Rutang is generous when giving gifts.

She also wanted to have one more valuable item in her warehouse. She had sold most of the valuable items Su Rutang had given her in the past.

Su Rutang returned to Chuitang Courtyard.

The owner of the Treasure Pavilion came in person and sat in the side hall drinking tea.

Seeing Su Rutang, he quickly stood up and bowed.

Su Rutang smiled and asked him to sit down, "Chunxi, change to the purple-hair silver needle."

Yan Ge was not very old, only about 20 years old. He liked to wear cloth clothes, which did not match his status as the head of the Treasure Pavilion.

He smiled and sat back in his chair.

"I came here to give Madam some goodies to impress her, and to ask for a favor."
